Prostitutes Akure
This study investigated the determinants of prostitution in South-West Nigeria using Akure metropolis as a case study. It employed a purposive sampling technique to explore the factors driving commercial sex work in the region. Meanwhile, Akure Escorts listings, including high-class female companions and lesbian services, are readily available online, advertising both incall and outcall availability 24/7.
Incidents and Local Notoriety
Recent news highlights ongoing issues, such as a woman caught in Akure for sex trafficking in June 2025, and earlier incidents like the leaked sextape of local girl Joy Boboye in November 2021. Online platforms feature numerous verified escort ads for women and trans individuals in Akure, Ondo. Search results for terms like ‘prostitutes’ frequently surface videos and concerning reports. For instance, in July 2025, ‘Hook-up Girls’ and mobile prostitutes were described as easy prey for ritualists. February 2025 saw a viral incident where a prostitute reportedly couldn’t walk properly after an altercation. Specific locations like Obo Street are colloquially known hubs for the trade, sometimes referred to as “PU$$Y STREET”. Dating sites also list single Akure girls explicitly interested in sex dating.
Enforcement and Violence
Further reports include the isolation of 18 sex workers and customers in Ondo during January 2022, and a middle-aged woman apprehended for preparing girls for prostitution in Libya. Tragedies occur, like a sex worker killed during a customer dispute. Another incident involved chaos at an Akure hotel when a client reneged on payment, leading to a public disturbance. Enforcement actions happen too, with police arresting women for prostitution and underage trafficking, including 7 women in July 2025 and earlier in April 2020. Workers sometimes resist, like prostitutes beating up environmental officials or policemen during sanitation exercises in Akure.
Commercial Operations and Health Risks
The commercial side persists, with escort directories like EscortDex listing girls in Akure with pictures and contact details, promoting experiences ranging from “porn star” encounters to erotic massage. Ads target various preferences – blondes, brunettes, different body types. However, sex workers face significant risks, including fraud, like a man defrauding an Ondo worker with a fake alert in June 2023, violence, and health crises. Public health concerns were raised after an HIV-positive sex worker’s case prompted surveillance reviews. Groups like Akure sex workers have also mourned colleagues publicly. The trade’s visibility and dangers remain persistent themes in the Akure landscape.
